They also mentioned that ‘storage units’ are being watched, as these units may be used to store items.

Stadiums, hotels warned to watch for terrorists

[note: AP story - limited quoting... Much more info at link]

WASHINGTON – Counterterrorism officials have issued security bulletins to police around the nation about terrorists’ desire to attack stadiums, entertainment complexes and hotels — the latest in a flurry of such internal warnings as investigators chase a possible bomb plot in Denver and New York.

In the two bulletins — sent to police departments Monday and obtained by The Associated Press — officials said they know of no specific plots against such sites, but urged law enforcement and private companies to be vigilant. These two bulletins followed on the heels of a similar warning about the vulnerabilities of mass transit systems.

The bulletin on stadiums notes that an al-Qaida training manual specifically lists “blasting and destroying the places of amusement, immorality, and sin... and attacking vital economic centers” as desired targets of the global terror network
